关于赛事
Kids Helping Kids (KHK) proudly kicks off the 12th Annual Health Wellness & Lifestyle Expo on Saturday, Sept 9 at 8:30 a.m. with the KHK 5K Walk/Run for Good. The event, which is a fundraiser for KHK's programming, is at Kosciuszko Park, 200 Elmcroft Road, Stamford. The mission of Kids Helping Kids is to facilitate the development of leadership skills through youth-led service projects. All of our projects are initiated, managed and led by youth who want to make an impact in the community. Since our inception in 2009, KHK volunteers have planned more than 5,000 projects to benefit under-resourced children in Fairfield County. All are welcome to register on our website by Aug. 25 for early bird pricing. Following the walk/run, please join us at the KHK tent on the Harbor Point boardwalk for refreshments and the chance to be entered in a drawing prize.
